Soups

Miso soup with a lot of wakame, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and red pepper flakes. I took a lot of photos of this one being all, "I can't make it not blurry!" but I think blurry is the nature of miso broth.

Curry Red Lentil and Corn Chowder from Christy Morgan's Blissful Bites. I've had this cookbook for a while and this is the first recipe I've yet to make from it. I hope to cook a lot more from the book because there are some very inventive recipes in it and it's a beautiful book. This soup was both sweet and tangy and very comforting. It wasn't super spicy but my curry powder is mad old and as with most soups, the flavors will probably settle in a day or two.
Sorry for the silence of late, again. Things have been depressing and hectic but I hope to have some good stuff for you in the next few days. I've been in a bit of a cooking slump among other things and I think following a recipe from a book to the letter will reset my circuits. Hope you're all well.

Every now and again I need to follow a cookbook's recipe exactly, too. It's always inspiring and educational. I don't do it as often as I should! Even if the last little while has been crap for you, at least you've been eating soup. :) Most comforting food ever!

Aww hugs from me too! I'm sorry that things have been rough lately. It is that time of year when things should be nice but it turns out to be so stressful. Soup is a great choice because it really is so comforting and warming. The miso soup looks especially delicious!

I'm not a hugger. In real life or cyberspace. Plus Miso Soup practically screams 'Ohm' and 'Zen' and 'Namaste', so I don't want to hear your non-blogging excuses. That's why cats were invented, for when there's nothing to blog about.
